On the next page is a chart that looks more closely at the Young Adult population.
Reported primary Drug Used (at the time of admission to treatment)
Primary drug at admission for young adults in Region 5 (18-25, fifth column)
This chart emphasizes the primary drug at admission for young adults. There is one additional column (on the far right of the chart) that has the data for all ages, in Region 5. It is included in this chart for ease of comparison to the Young Adult data.
The most striking difference in the primary drug at admission for young adults versus all age groups was the lower level for alcohol use: 33.5% for the all-age group vs. 18.2% for young adults. This may reflect lower use or lower problems related to alcohol at this age as compared to other drugs.
Three drugs tracked (heroin, non-prescription methadone, and other opiates) are opiates. When considered together, this makes opiate the highest use group at 39.8% for all ages and 46.5%for young adults, making opiate use the #1 drug at admission for that age group.
The inverse was true for marijuana, hashish, THC where young adult admissions were at 28.8% whereas for all ages it was 14.6%.

Region 5 was neither the highest nor the lowest for any category except for “other opiates” and “marijuana, hashish and THC,” each of which was higher than any of the other regions.
Reported use of all drugs at admission – all ages
The following chart details what drugs – all of them – clients (all ages) reported using at the time of admission for treatment. The total percentages add up to much more that 100% as many individuals reported using more than one.
For all ages, alcohol was the most frequent, followed by heroin /non-prescription methadone.
For comparison, we have added a column at the far right of this chart which details the drugs used by Young Adults (age 18-25) in Region 5. The profiles of young adults when compared to the all-age group are quite different. Note the higher use of all drugs except for alcohol (48.4% vs. 35.4%) and crack/ cocaine (19.5% vs. 31%).
The totals add up to far more than 100% because many admissions involved more than one drug.
